The Pacers are good again — and Gainbridge Fieldhouse is close to plenty of great shops and restaurants.
Yes, but: Its access to public transit falls far below its NBA stadium peers.
State of play: Gainbridge Fieldhouse has a transit score of 66 out of 100, according to Walk Score, a Redfin company that measures how well NBA arenas are served by public transportation.
How it works: The company assigns a "usefulness" value to the nearby transit routes on frequency, type and distance between stops.
Be smart: The score is more a reflection of transit options — which Indianapolis lacks — than of walkability to nearby attractions.
Reality check: Most people drive to Pacers games.
But, but, but: Once you get out of the car, there are plenty of things to see and do to rack up steps downtown before you go inside the arena.
